...Limbaugh is an entertainer, so that makes him half BS, if just for the publicity. He is well informed, but that’s because he has the money to get the best staff and researchers. I’ve listened to him on and off many years. He seems to be warming to the Tea party lately instead of shilling for the GOP as in the past. It’s OK to be wrong once in a while, if your wrong, say your wrong...
Rush quickly excited the community and became a regular on local TV debating people associated with University of California Davis, et al. I had a TV back then and enjoyed the debates. Rush seemed to me to win most and became even more hated by the Sacramento / Davis nut jobs.
(How nutty? I recall the educational TV station telecasting -- ON MEMORIAL DAY -- a tribute to the heroic women of North Viet Nam defending against imperialist U.S. military. The mayor wanted to rid Sacramento of all U.S. military installations and loved her "sister city" in China. I think I am correct about the "sister city.")
In those days he had no staff. But he makes no effort to downplay his staff and often praises them.
If I remember correctly he later described visiting wealthy neighborhoods in Sacramento wondering what it would take to own a home like one of those. He's probably still wondering now that he way above that financially. :)
